View form to display item based on 2 separate galleries

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by Mehranmpr

Hello everyone.

for simplicity, I have two galleries, Gallery 1 in screen 1 and Gallery 2 in screen 2, and I would like to display a form (in screen 3) based on gallery 1 selected item or gallery 2 selected item, whichever item selected by the user in the previous screen. What I have so far works for 1 gallery since the item property of my form is "gallery1.selected". What can I do to allow the user to view the form based on the selected item in gallery 1 or the selected item in gallery 2.

I hope I was clear enough with my question.

Thanks in advance.

hi @Mehranmpr,

the issue with this is that you are going to get problems if the galleries aren't using the same list because it won't be able to match up data cards properly. otherwise you are going to have to write an if statement to determine which form to use depending on which gallery was selected. I would also suggest disabling the other gallery until your data is submitted so you don't get any interference from the galleries. otherwise, you can use 2 forms and connect 1 to each gallery. then set the visible property dependent on which gallery gets selected.

Thank you @One for connecting,
Luckily the two Galleries use the same SharePoint list and they are just filtered to display different information. having said that, how can I allow the form to display the selected item that is either selected in gallery 1 or gallery 2. Can this be done by modifying the Item property of my form with an "Or" operator or an if statement and if yes, how can this be done.
Thank you again.

@Mehranmpr,

exactly, you will just adjust the Item property of your form to:

GalleryName.Selected || GalleryName2.Selected

you are just going to want to make sure you have a way to deselect from the gallery or disable so the gallery's don't conflict with each other.

@One,
Unfortunately I get Invalid argument type error.
As an Alternative method, can I use an if statement where if previous screen selected is screen 1, gallery 1.selected otherwise Gallery2.selected.

@One , I appreciate your support

@Mehranmpr,

to use 1 form you will need to set the selected record id as a separate variable in the gallery OnSelect, then filter your list in the items property of your form to the ID variable. the items property of your form will use the following code after you adjust for your variables/list names:

First(Filter('YourListName', ID = YourIDVariable))

I came to the same problem and tried several things, the only way that worked and is practical at the same time is the following:

select gallery 1, go to OnSelect property and initialize a variable say Set(RecordID, ThisItem.'ID') you can use other information from the record other than the ID but make sure its unique.

you want to also write : Navigate(screen3)

so the total value of the OnSelect property will be as followes:

Set(RecordID, ThisItem.'ID');

Navigate(screen3);

repeat these steps for gallery 2 keeping the same variable name because you only want to change the value of the variable we initialized and you dont want to make a new variable (go to screen 2 select gallery 2 and choose the OnSelect property and assign the following to it) :

Set(RecordID, ThisItem.'ID');

Navigate(screen3);

finally go to screen 3 and select the form and choose the Item property and assign it the following:

LookUp('Table name', 'ID'=RecordID)

hope it helps
